RVK Stair Landing Connectors Specification

The Invisible Connections range of telescopic connectors was developed to solve the problem of unsightly support systems for precast slabs and beams, such as traditional bracketry and/ or corbel support details.

They consist of a cast-in, structural steel hollow section with inner structural steel hollow section deployed during installation. The position of the inner tube of the RVK unit is adjusted through a slot in the surface of the staircase element. The units have a safety stop at the back of the inner tube to prevent overextension. The range of RVK connectors are primarily intended for precast stairs and landings, with a standard capacity of 100 kN. They are also useful for conditions other than stairs.
